OPI NYC Ballet Soft Shades Collection for Spring 2012

I've got three of the new OPI NYC Ballet Soft Shades Collection colors today.  It seems that they are all very soft and sheer colors.  I picked up two of the sheers and the one glitter topcoat of the collection.

OPI Care to Danse? is a very sheer pale pink color.  It seems a little cool and purple leaning in the bottle, but goes on as a soft pink.  I used three coats here.

OPI My Pointe Exactly is also a pale soft sheer dove grey.  I really like My Pointe Exactly and wore it as a full mani with OPI Pirouette My Whistle.  It's such a great combination.  Here is three coats.

OPI Pirouette My Whistle is the glitter topcoat that is a part of NYC Ballet Soft Shades Collection.  It is  milky, yet a clear with round shiny silver micro glitter and hexagon satin-finish larger glitter pieces.

OPI NYC Ballet Soft Shades Collection for Spring 2012 may be already available at some OPI retailers.  They are officially being launched in April 2012.  Each color retails for around $8.50.

Until next time...

    1. Thank you...I actually let out a little giggle at the cuticle comment. I feel like they're always so dry. Thank you for visiting and reading :)

  2. How did you get so many of the chunky pieces to go on your nails? Each of my nails has two at the most :(

    1. I try to apply two thin layers to get the most chunky pieces that I can.

    2. To get the larger pieces, I found I had to lay the brush down along the nail to pull them off the brush. When I did two coats with the brush tip, I felt like I ended up with too much of the tiny glitter.

  3. I love this so much! I just came across it on Pinterest and it is so festive and holiday! When I picked up My Pointe Exactly I was unsure but it really does look great!

    2. I came over via Pinterest, too-- *love* the Pirouette My Whistle, and the two sizes of glitter, and that the larger size is matte finish. Thanks for turning me (all of us!) onto these combinations!
